"Trauma" (NBC) The star of "Trauma," at least in the first episode, is the action. The show features a couple of pretty spectacular set pieces, the kind that can sometimes overshadow the characters in the middle of all the explosions. That isn't an issue with Curtis, a New Zealander who plays hotshot chopper pilot Reuben Palchuck with a swagger (and a death wish) that cuts through all the big action going on around him.
